15-page Preview! Appointed ‘Problem Solver’ in a nightmarish city of monsters, the lost amnesiac Stump must pit street smarts against baffling dream logic to solve some outrageously bizarre ‘problems.’ But this smart ass may face a problem even she can’t solve in the Unimaginable – creatures too terrible for anyone to even imagine.

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

The concept of this preview tries to dive into the extraordinary storyline. But in reality, the way the concept and story itself are presented to us makes it feel like it lacks a lot of clarity and focus. Almost as if the creators of this preview didn’t know where they were going with this preview. 

The narrative in this preview feels very disjointed. Which makes it very difficult for me personally to grasp the storyline or connect with the unfolding events of this preview. 

The key points of the plot in this preview are left very underdeveloped and unexplored. Almost like the creators of this preview even bother giving us a good preview, which would make us interested enough in the full version of this comic book to actually buy it and read it. 

The characters we get in this preview are introduced to us without any form of personality, depth, or background which really makes the characters in this preview very uninteresting, boring, and one-dimensional.

The protagonist in this preview lacks any form of clear motivation and personality. Which really made it impossible for me personally to care about his journey or him as a character. 

The side characters in this preview don’t add anything to the narrative or the storyline in general, which really makes it unclear why they are even in this preview if they don’t add anything to the storyline. 

There is also no character development in this preview, which made it very difficult for me personally to care about the character or get invested in their journeys throughout this preview or in the full version of this comic book. 

The artwork in this comic book has its moments of creativity, which I liked for the most part. But in general, the artwork really struggles a lot to elevate the story. The illustrations feel inconsistent and fail to effectively convey the narrative, contributing to the overall sense of confusion.

The potential for thematic depth exists, but the fragmented storytelling prevents these elements from resonating with us as readers.

This preview tries to give us the themes of mystery and the extraordinary. But we only get glimpses of those themes. And at the same time those themes feel very unexplored. 

So, will I buy and read the full version of this comic book? I don’t think I will. The main reason behind this is how poorly this preview was very uninteresting for me personally.

I Give This Book 1 / 5
